New character keeps disconnecting WOW51900319

I have seen some topics previously that say “delete and recreate” but I cannot login to or delete this new character. I get “Character deletion failed” if I try to delete it. Quite annoying as I really wanted to level that character with the name it has :frowning:

You need to wait 15-30 minutes without trying to log into the character to delete it. The reason being that if a character disconnects it stays in the game until the AFK timer runs out and logs it out.

You can play a different character in the meantime.

I’ll give that a go! Thank you.

Sometimes new characters can become stuck in a manner where they will permanently disconnect. If you have never logged onto the character successfully, this will be the issue.

Sadly, the only option is to delete the character if this is the case. That said, this is being looked into but loading into the character for the first time without any addons then completing the first quest before activating any addons should allow you to encounter this issue less often.
